The kidney transplantation is scheduled to take place on July 8 at the GB Pant Hospital in the Agartala district of Tripura.

During his visit, CM Saha, who also serves as the Health Minister of Tripura, interacted with the kidney donor and the recipient and offered them words of encouragement and support.

CM Saha also held discussions with the attending doctors and other hospital officials, assessing the preparations and ensuring that everything was in place for the groundbreaking medical procedure.

He expressed confidence in the medical team’s capabilities and conveyed his best wishes to everyone involved in the transplantation.

This historic event marks a significant milestone in Tripura’s healthcare sector, showcasing the state’s progress in providing advanced medical care to its residents.

Earlier in the day, on Sunday, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, on the occasion of National Doctor’s Day and Jagannath Rath Yatra, inaugurated the Blood Donation Camp in Agartala, Tripura.

This camp was organised by the Indian Medical Association at IMA House in Agartala at the Tripura Branch.

Inaugurating the camp, Chief Minister Manik Saha said, “Doctors always work for people. They engage themselves in the service of people 24×7 from morning to night. Now they themselves are giving blood to save the lives of the poor. It will send a good message to society. Doctors not only take blood from others but also donate blood themselves. We are all human. And there must be a mindset to work for people.”

On the occasion, while addressing the doctors, the Chief Minister said that the responsibility entrusted to them should be well implemented and work should be done on time. If people have problems beyond time, you will come forward to solve them. You always work for people. Even if there is a call at two o’clock in the morning, run away.

Apart from this, the Chief Minister thanked the organisers of the blood donation camp, the blood donors and the team that came to collect the blood.
